Clearly, age is nothing but a number for these famous lovebirds that have major age differences.

65 Celebrity Couples With Major Age Differences

We can’t help who we fall in love with, right? For these celebrity couples, age is just a number. And even though they've maybe faced an eyebrow raise or two from the public, they've proved that a significant age difference doesn't have to be a hurdle to relationship bliss.

From Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart, here are the most famous celebrity couples with major age differences — one of which is more than 40 years.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

Blake and Ryan — Blake Lively, left, and Ryan Reynolds attend the premiere of "A Quiet Place" at AMC Loews Lincoln Square on April 2, 2018, in New York.

Age difference: 11 years

Bottom Line: Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

The gorgeous couple met on the set of “Green Lantern” when Lively, fresh off her “Gossip Girl” success was just 22 and Reynolds was 33 (and married to fellow actress Scarlett Johansson at the time.) They got married in 2012 and, in addition to drawing huge laughs for their social media antics, are now the parents to two daughters, James and Inez.

George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin

George and Amal Clooney — Actor/director George Clooney, right, is greeted by his wife Amal as he arrives in the ballroom at the 46th AFI Life Achievement Award gala honoring him at the Dolby Theatre on June 7, 2018, in Los Angeles.

Age difference: 17 years

Bottom Line: George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin

Much to everyone’s surprise, the world’s most famous bachelor finally settled down with the crazy accomplished human rights lawyer who was 17 years his junior. Clooney was 52 when he proposed to then 35-year-old Alamuddin, and the glamorous couple soon got hitched in a star-studded affair in Italy.

As for married life, Clooney recently shared with Esquire that it doesn’t get much better: “There were all the jokes and the bits and I get all that stuff, but I couldn't be happier right now.”

And now the jet-setting duo has twins Alexander and Ella.

Beyonce and Jay-Z

Age difference: 12 years

Bottom Line: Beyonce and Jay-Z

Beyonce, Jay-Z — Beyonce and Jay-Z performing together.

Queen Bey and Jay-Z met when she was just 18 and started dating when she was 19 and he was 31. The power couple quickly became the it couple of music and dated for seven years before finally tying the knot in a top-secret ceremony in 2008. They had daughter Blue Ivy in 2012 and twins Sir and Rumi in 2018, and continue to collaborate in both music and life.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra

Age difference: 11 years

Bottom Line: Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra,Nick Jonas — Actress Priyanka Chopra, left, and singer Nick Jonas at Cannes.

When the youngest member of the Jonas Brothers, now 30, announced his engagement to stunning “Quantico” star Priyanka Chopra, the world was left scratching their heads. The celeb couple were apparently connected through friends and once they finally made the leap from just friends to dating, it only took a mere two months to put a ring on it.

When dating rumors first started to swirl, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel joked with Chopra about their large age difference by asking “Are you dating Nick Jonas? Isn’t he like, 11 years old?” The actress gamely replied, “I didn’t ask his age. 11? I did not know that. Good to know.”

David Foster and Katharine McPhee

Age difference: 34 years

Bottom Line: David Foster and Katharine McPhee

The famous music producer, 72, and former “American Idol” winner announced their engagement in July 2018 and were promptly trolled by strangers judging their whopping 34-year age difference. Foster’s grown daughter, Erin Foster, who is one year older than McPhee, even jested (lovingly) on social media to the proposal announcement by commenting, “Mommmyyy.”

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DiRossi

Age difference: 15 years

Bottom Line: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DiRossi

Few people seem to know that the popular talk show host and actress have such a large age difference between them. But despite the large age difference, the couple knew they were each other’s soulmates pretty much from first sight when they met in 2004. DeGeneres told People, “I’m so grateful for the love in my life, because not everybody finds that. Not everybody finds that best friend.”

The couple tied the knot in 2008 — after the California Supreme Court overturned a ban on same-sex marriage — in a gorgeous private ceremony on their Beverly Hills estate.

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves

Age difference: 13 years

Bottom Line: Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves

Alright, alright, alright, the heart wants what the heart wants. The free-wheeling actor and former Victoria’s Secret model and TV show host met when Alves was 23 and McConaughey, 36. And, according to McConaughey, he was not looking for love at the time, but when you spot your soulmate, you just know.

“I wasn't hunting … Lo and behold, it didn't take long for fate to have its way. And then, this amazing woman walked across my field of vision and I thought, 'Who is that?' And it was Camila,” he told Cigar Aficianado.

Six years and three kids later, the couple finally got engaged and married in 2012.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Age difference: 25 years

Bottom Line: Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Sometimes it’s just meant to be. Despite their quarter-century age difference, the stars all pointed the way to this surprising romance — both Douglas and Zeta-Jones were born on Sept. 25, 25 years apart. The handsome couple got hitched in 2000 when she was 31 and he was 56, and they have two kids together.

While their marriage has had its rough spots, with a throat cancer diagnosis for Douglas and Zeta-Jones recently revealing she deals with bipolar disorder, the couple remains as solid as ever.

Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman

Age difference: 11 years

Bottom Line: Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman

This hilarious duo met when Offerman was 29 and Mullally, 41, and they’ve been married since 2003. While the pair does a lot of work separately, they also tour together and often make guest appearances in each other’s projects. Mullally, for instance, famously played one of Ron Swanson’s exes, Tammy, on Offerman’s TV show “Parks and Recreation.”

The secret to their marital success? Mullally toldGQ: “We have a two-week rule. We’re never apart for more than two weeks. Just not being separated for Jurassic periods of time seems to help.”

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart

Harrison Ford, Calista Flockhart — Harrison Ford, left, and Calista Flockhart arrive at the world premiere of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" at the TCL Chinese Theatre on Monday, Dec. 14, 2015, in Los Angeles.

Age difference: 22 years

Bottom Line: Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart

When Hans Solo and Ally McBeal started dating, people couldn’t believe it, and now they’re one of Hollywood’s longest-lasting couples. The unlikely pair started dating back in 2002 when Flockhart was 38 and Ford, 60, and finally wed in 2010. Flockhart was already mom to adopted son Liam when they got together and Ford is now the legal father.

As for their major age gap? Flockhart tells People she doesn’t even notice. “Sometimes I even say, ‘Wow, I keep forgetting that he’s 22 years older than me.' It doesn’t factor into our relationship at all. I like the way he looks first thing in the morning. It’s not handsome, it’s more cute. He looks like a little boy.”

Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas

Age difference: 26 years

Bottom Line: Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas

Following the nasty and public divorce from Baldwin’s first wife, actress Kim Basinger, the actor found love again with yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas who was 26 years his junior. The couple married in 2012 and are now parents to six children.

Hilaria claims that their generational differences have impacted how they parent, “He’s a little bit more old school, ‘You’re the mom, you take care of the kids, and then I will come and go, and I will read a book with them every once in a while’ kind of thing.”

Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Age difference: 20 years

Bottom Line: Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

The action star and model met on the set of “Transformers” and started dating in 2010 when Statham was 43 and Huntington-Whitely, just 23. After dating for five years, the couple got engaged in 2016 and welcomed their first baby boy, Jack, in June 2017. They announced they're expecting a second child in August 2021.

Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Age difference: 23 years

Bottom Line: Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson

He was the hot young star of her directorial debut. She was a recent divorcee with two kids. Sounds like the beginnings of an epic love story, right? When then 18-year-old Aaron jumped into a whirlwind romance with his 42-year-old “Nowhere Boy” director Sam, the internet was ablaze with critics.

Despite the controversial start, the couple defied the odds and got married soon after and have two daughters. Sam once told The Hollywood Reporter, “People like to talk about [our relationship]. I'm like, 'Yeah, but it works better than my last marriage.' It's lasted longer than a lot of my friends' marriages.”

As for their massive age difference, Aaron revealed to The Times magazine, “I don't notice it now … we just instinctively gel ... People who know me call me Benjamin Button — they think I'm an old soul and she's a young soul.'”

Amber Tamblyn and David Cross

Age difference: 19 years

Bottom Line: Amber Tamblyn and David Cross

The former “Joan of Arcadia” actress and her comedian husband definitely turned some major heads with their nearly two-decade age difference when news of their romance first broke back in 2012 when Tamblyn was 25 and the “Arrested Development” actor was 44. Fast-forward to today, and the couple is still going strong as the proud parents of daughter Marlow.

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor

Age difference: 32 years

Bottom Line: Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor

It’s no surprise that when a then 40-year-old Sarah Paulson began dating 72-year-old Holland Taylor in 2015 that more than a few eyebrows were raised. After meeting at a dinner party 12 years prior, the couple reconnected many years later via (where else?) Twitter, and the rest, as they say, is history.

But that doesn’t mean that the pair is unaware of the controversy surrounding their coupling. Paulson toldThe Sunday Times, “People look at me and Holland and say, ‘Mommy issues,’ but I parent her as much as she parents me.”

Bruce Willis and Emma Heming

Age difference: 23 years

Bottom Line: Bruce Willis and Emma Heming

When iconic action star Bruce Willis first met model Emma Heming at the gym, he didn’t realize he was about to meet the biggest love of his life. The couple tied the knot in 2009 when Willis was 54 and Heming was 31. Despite their 23-year age difference, Heming tells W magazine that they have a lot in common: “We’re self-made, we came from the same background, and we went to work and became self-sufficient.”

Willis, for his part, is still smitten. He told Closer eight years into married life, “I don’t want to be away from Emma at all. It’s the most singular relationship I’ve ever had in my life." They now have two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, and Heming is also stepmom to Willis’ three adult daughters with ex Demi Moore.

Warren Beatty and Annette Bening

Age difference: 21 years

Bottom Line: Warren Beatty and Annette Bening

While most people know that Warren Beatty and Annette Bening are one of Hollywood’s most iconic and longest-running power couples, what they may not know is that there’s an over two-decade age difference between the two accomplished actors. Bening first met Beatty on the set of the film “Bugsy” and while she resisted the legendary bachelor’s advances at first, the attraction was apparently too strong to resist.

As of Beatty, he always knew she was the one. He once famously told People about giving up his playboy ways, “I remember losing interest in the garlic chicken I was eating within 20 seconds … And the garlic chicken had been very good.”

Over 20 years and four kids later, it appears this couple is here to stay.

Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster

Age difference: 26 years

Bottom Line: Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster

Once a rock star, always a rock star. Lancaster may have been only 27 and a student photographer when she met superstar Stewart (then 53) in 1999, but that didn’t stop the sparks from flying. The “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” singer and model finally got married in 2007 and have two children together.

Lancaster shared with Yours that she always planned on marrying an older man so the age gap doesn’t phase her: “I actually wanted to be with an older man, someone mature who’d been around the block. He has all the graces of a gentleman and all the respect for a woman that younger men haven’t yet acquired.”

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo

Age difference: 10 years

Bottom Line: Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo

The Maroon 5 frontman and Victoria’s Secret model started dating when he was 33 and she was 22. They got married in 2014 and now have two children together.

Levine, who was known for dating lots of models prior to Prinsloo, admitted to Jay Leno that while he never believed in marriage, the right person helped change his mind. “Famous last words: ‘I'll never get married.' You know, I still don't think you have to get married, unless you meet someone that makes you want to marry them. And then you marry them and it's wonderful.”

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer

Age difference: 13 years

Bottom Line: Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer

It’s a tale as old as time: co-stars that fall in love on screen and in real life. This was the case for “True Blood” stars Paquin and Moyer who played the series’ main star-crossed lovers Sookie and Bill and, according to Moyer, fell in love pretty much at first sight.

He once revealed on “Watch What Happens Now”: “By day three or four — oh, this is going to sound so syrupy — but I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. It was within seconds, really, and it just became a thing.”

Hugh Jackman and Deborra lee-Furness

Age difference: 13 years

Bottom Line: Hugh Jackman and Deborra lee-Furness

He’s now 53 and she’s 65, but Jackman still remembers the first day they met like it was yesterday. The two actors met on the set of an Australian TV show that they were both acting in (with her being the much bigger star and he the newbie), and Jackson was immediately struck saying he remembered thinking, “I like this girl.” The two quickly hit it off and have pretty much been together ever since. They have been married for a whopping 21 years — which is a lifetime in Hollywood standards.

And despite what people may think, their 13-year age difference doesn’t faze the “Wolverine” star in the least. He shared withPeople, “I’m literally the adult in the relationship. She’s just like a little kid. I’m the [one saying], ‘Babe, this is not a legal parking spot.’ ‘Oh, come on, Mr. Goody- Goody.’”

Dane Cook and Kelsi Taylor

Age difference: 27 years

Bottom Line: Dane Cook and Kelsi Taylor

The comedian and singer are definitely one of those May-December romances that had everyone going, “Huh?” The couple apparently met at a game night when Taylor was presumably still a teenager and started officially dating when she was 18.

In an Instagram Story Q & A, Cook even joked about their giant age difference when a fan asked, “What advice do you have to those in age gap relationships?” He responded, “The only thing you have to do is plan that your deaths will be somewhat far apart.”

Wise words, indeed.

Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander

Age difference: 11 years

Bottom Line: Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander

Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander and acclaimed “12 Years a Slave” actor Michael Fassbender started dating in 2014 after meeting on the set of their movie “The Light Between Oceans.” But they were so low-key about it that most people hardly knew they were dating, let alone in a serious relationship.

Per their style, the two secretly tied the knot in 2017. Vikander recently told Vogue about married life, “I feel I’m more happy and content than I’ve ever been.”

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed

Age difference: 10 years

Bottom Line: Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed

They may come from different vampire universes (him from “The Vampire Diaries” and her from the “Twilight” series), but that didn’t stop this genetically blessed couple from wasting no time once they found each other. In 2015, they got engaged after just six months of dating and were married later that year.

Reed and the 10-year-older Somerhalder often post loving tributes to each other on their respective social media accounts and advocate for numerous environmental and animal rescue causes together. They welcomed their first child, daughter Bodhi Soleil, in 2017.

Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Age difference: 16 years

Bottom Line: Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan

In case you missed it, “Walking Dead” star and former “One Tree Hill” star Burton are a serious couple. As in married-and-share-a-child couple. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t be the only one, as the pair have been so super secretive about their entire relationship that many fans don’t even know they’re together.

The pair were set up by mutual friend and “Supernatural” star Jensen Ackles when Burton was 27 and Morgan 43. They wed in a super low-key non-publicized ceremony in 2014, and people only started suspecting they were married when they started referring to each other as “husband” and “wife” in interviews. Pretty sneaky.

Daryl Hannah and Neil Young

Age difference: 15 years

Bottom Line: Daryl Hannah and Neil Young

This recently married couple had quite an auspicious start. The revered folk singer-songwriter was married to his wife Pegi for 36 years when they announced their split in 2014 — followed soon after by news that he was now with Hannah. (You can put two and two together.) And the haters were hating.

Even Young’s former Crosby, Still, Nash & Young bandmate David Crosby called Hannah “a poisonous predator” at the time (which he later apologized for). The couple reportedly met and bonded over their mutual passion for the environment and activism. As for all the constant negative press, Young claims, “It doesn’t matter. We don’t give a s***. We don’t care because they don’t know what they’re talking about.”

And his younger wife appears to have really helped him in the health and lifestyle department by introducing him to pilates and swimming.

Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron

Age difference: 25 years

Bottom Line: Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron

France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, sparked conversation during the French election because he’s 25 years younger than his wife, Brigitte. Not only that, but he was a student at a school where she taught.

But he handled any eyebrow-raising with political poise: "If I was 20 years older than my wife, nobody would think for a single second that we couldn’t be legitimately together," he toldLe Parisien. "It's because she is 20 years older than me that a lot of people say, 'this relationship can't be tenable, it can't be possible.'"

Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy

Age difference: 12 years

Bottom Line: Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy

One of Hollywood’s longest-running couples have been together for a lot longer than most people realize. While they’ve been married for an impressive 21 years, they had already been dating on and off for 15 years before that.

Huffman met Macy back in the 1980s when they were both working actors in New York, and despite him proposing multiple times throughout their courtship, it took a while for her to finally say yes. She once told Tribune News, “I was so scared of marriage that I thought I would've preferred to step in front of a bus.”

Huffman and Macy wed on Sept. 6, 1997. They welcomed their first baby, daughter Sophia Grace, three years later. Then in 2002, they celebrated the birth of their second daughter, Georgia Grace.

Steve Martin and Anne Stringfield

Age difference: 27 years

Bottom Line: Steve Martin and Anne Stringfield

Tina Fey, Steve Martin, Anne Stringfield

Funny man Steve Martin met his wife, journalist Anne Stringfield, when she was a fact-checker for The New Yorker and had to call the actor regarding a piece he wrote for the publication. They were phone friends for a while, and the rest, as they say, is history.

The May-December couple tied the knot in 2007 and welcomed a baby girl in 2012. So how does it feel to become a dad for the very first time at the age of 67? Martin tells the Daily Telegraph, “Oh, it’s fantastic — you have all the time in the world. You’re all set and secure in life, and you’re not building your career, so you have a lot of time.”

Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher

Age difference: 18 years

Bottom Line: Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher

The comedian and Australian model/actress have been together since 2012. In 2018, Butcher gave birth to Murphy’s 10th child. The couple also are parents to a daughter, who was born in 2016. Murphy has eight other children with four other women.

Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin

Age difference: 22 years

Bottom Line: Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin

The former Rocky famously met his current wife of 21 years in a Beverly Hills restaurant when he was a 42-year-old movie star and she, a 20-year-old model. His youngest child from his first marriage was only eight years younger than Flavin.

But fast-forward many, many years later, and they’re still happily married and parents to three daughters: Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet.

Viola Davis and Julius Tennon

Julius Tennon and Viola Davis — Julius Tennon, left, and Viola Davis have a 12-year age difference between them.

Age difference: 12 years

Bottom Line: Viola Davis and Julius Tennon

The “How to Get Away With Murder” actress wed actor/producer Julius Tennon in 2003. The two adopted their daughter Genesis in 2011. Davis once revealed that she met Tennon three weeks after praying for a husband. She toldPage Six, “I said I wanted a big black man from the South who looked like a football player, who already had children, who maybe had been married before. Three-and-a-half weeks later, I met my husband.”

Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross

Age difference: 35 years

Bottom Line: Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross

The Hollywood actor is trying to make a comeback, and who better to have by his side than his girlfriend, a former equestrian vaulter 34 years his junior and mother of his ninth child? Gibson and Ross have definitely faced their share of criticism about their relationship, especially considering that Gibson’s first child is 37. But Gibson isn’t fazed.

He tellsThe Mirror, “Regarding age and relationships, it’s just a number. She is an adult, and we dig each other. It might cause a problem and one has a trepidation about these things, but it’s working out great. She is a really special person.”

Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz

Age difference: 17 years

Bottom Line: Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz

The “America’s Got Talent” judge and model has a history of dating younger men, but people’s tongues were still wagging when she stepped out in early 2018 with her latest man, the much younger Tokio Hotel musician Tom Kaulitz.

Klum recently revealed toIn Stylethat the 17-year age difference doesn’t faze them in the least, but since their romance has become public, the question of her age has been “shoved in [her] face” more often. Luckily, the stylish mama of four has a zen approach to all the critics: “You have to just live a happy life without worrying too much about what people think because worrying is only going to give you more wrinkles.”

The two were married in 2019.

Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh

Age difference: 27 years

Bottom Line: Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh

The 27-year age gap wasn’t the only reason this couple had a rocky start. Grammer started dating Walsh while he was still married to his third wife Camille Grammer (now of “Real Housewives” fame). Walsh later revealed to Oprah, "I'm not proud of the way we started out because he was in a marriage.”

That said, the couple wed in 2011 and have three children together.

David Hasselhoff and Hayley Roberts

Age difference: 28 years

Bottom Line: David Hasselhoff and Hayley Roberts

The Hof first met the Welsh model back in 2011 when she approached him for an autograph. As the story goes, he only agreed to give it to her if she gave him her number in exchange. Fast-forward to July 2018 when the couple got hitched.

Roberts was 38 and Hasselhoff, 66, at the time of their wedding. Hasselhoff’s two grown children Taylor, 28, and Hayley, 25, were in attendance.

Jeff Goldblum and Emilie Livingston

Age difference: 30 years

Bottom Line: Jeff Goldblum and Emilie Livingston

It may seem like he never ages, but the “Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom” actor is well aware of the 31-year age gap between himself and his 35-year-old ballerina wife — especially since they are now the parents of two young toddlers.

He tells iNews, “I keep doing the math and keep extrapolating where they’re going to be and where I’m going to be. And when I buy a watch, I wonder who’s going to get it.”

Matt Bomer and Simon Halls

Age difference: 14 years

Bottom Line: Matt Bomer and Simon Halls

“The Last Tycoon” star married his publicist husband Simon Halls in an intimate ceremony in 2011. But the couple didn’t publicly reveal their nuptials until 2014.

Prior to getting hitched, the duo welcomed three sons together via surrogacy. Bomer tells The Hollywood Reporter, “I married up. He’s an intelligent and kind soul.”

Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva

Age difference: 34 years

Bottom Line: Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva

Despite the more than three-decade gap between them, actor/activist Richard Gere and Spanish socialite Alejandra Silva must have found a lot in common to make their marriage work. Silva tellsHola!, “I was a little lost, without light, and knowing him gave meaning to my life … It was feeling that someone was reaching out and showing me my true path.”

Patrick Stewart and Sunny Ozell

Age difference: 38 years

Bottom Line: Patrick Stewart and Sunny Ozell

Star Trek’s former Captain Jean Luc Picard met singer-songwriter Ozell through mutual friends in 2008. And despite almost four decades between them, the pair hit it off and got hitched in 2013.

Understandably, Ozell’s father — who is actually five years younger than Stewart — wasn’t initially thrilled about their pairing, but has since come around. Stewart revealed toThe Daily Mailthat his father-in-law “rings me up and says, ‘Hey son, it’s your father here.’”

Ozell understands why people may be shocked at their enormous age gap, but, to them, age is but a number. “He is so youthful and I guess I’m kind of an old worrywart, so we bridge the gap,” she says. “It doesn’t come up much. He’s in better shape than me, which infuriates me.”

Mick Jagger and Melanie Hamrick

Age difference: 44 years

Bottom Line: Mick Jagger and Melanie Hamrick

Mat Vlasic,Bruce Resnikoff,Melanie Hamrick,Mick Jagger,David Joseph,Sir Lucian Grainge

The Rolling Stones frontman is no stranger to dating much younger women, but a 44-year age gap may be a new record, even for him.

The notorious lothario met ballerina Melanie Hamrick in 2014. The couple welcomed son Deveraux Jagger in December 2016. Jagger is also a grandfather of five and a great-grandfather to one.

Dick Van Dyke and Arlene Silver

Age difference: 45 years

Bottom Line: Dick Van Dyke and Arlene Silver

The legendary comedian, 95, married his makeup artist wife in 2012 and has joked about what makes their surprising relationship work: “She’s very mature for her age and I’m very immature for my age, so it’s just about right!”

And Silver concurs: “He is a lot of fun. He’s not immature in a bad way. He’s immature in a good way with the wonder of a child … We’re both like children. We feel like we’re both having a second childhood.”

Billy Joel and Alexis Roderick

Alexis Roderick and Billy Joel — Alexis Roderick, left, and Billy Joel have a 33-year age difference between them.

Age difference: 33 years

Bottom Line: Billy Joel and Alexis Roderick

Billy Joel and Alexis Roderick started dating in 2009 and wed on July 4, 2015, in a surprise ceremony that took place at Joel's estate on Long Island in New York. And it was presided over by none other than New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a longtime friend of the couple.

The duo now has two children together, the first of which was born shortly after their wedding.

Josh Brolin and Kathryn Boyd

Age difference: 20 years

Marc Anthony, Madu Nicola — Marc Anthony, right, and Madu Nicola arrive at the Billboard Latin Music Awards on Sept. 23, 2021, at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida.

Age difference: 31 years

Bottom Line: Marc Anthony and Madu Nicola

Fans had been hoping to see Anthony, age 53, rekindle a romance with Jennifer Lopez, but ... it wasn't meant to be. Ever since Lopez, however, he's been seen dating a lot of women about half his age. The latest is model Madu Nicola.

Guy Ritchie and Jacqui Ainsley

He told "Entertainment Tonight": "[I'm] very happy. I spend a lot of time thinking about my wife. It's a hand in a glove. We just don't argue, you know? She finishes my sentences and understands what I'm thinking way before I'm thinking it."

Age difference: 20 years

Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Marrone

Age difference: 23 years

Bottom Line: Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Marrone

While it's very difficult to dig up a photo of Leo and his fairly new leading lady, Camila Marrone, the couple have been dating for around four years. They reportedly began dating in late 2017 and made their first official appearance together at the 2020 Oscars. That said, the pair remains very private, staying out of the limelight as much as possible.

Bob Saget and Kelly Rizzo

Bob Saget,Kelly Rizzo — Bob Saget, left, and Kelly Rizzo attend the 30th annual Scleroderma Foundation Benefit at the Beverly Wilshire hotel on June 16, 2017, in Beverly Hills, California.

Age difference: 23 years

Bottom Line: Bob Saget and Kelly Rizzo

Bob Saget was best known for playing Danny Tanner on the ABC sitcom "Full House," and returned in the 2016 follow-up series "Fuller House." Saget was more than 20 years older than his wife, Kelly Rizzo.

“Marriage is hard,” Austin Green told People. “It’s work I think for anyone. I think when you get to the point like we have, where you have kids and you’ve been married for a while and we’ve been together for a long time, it’s — you just take it day by day.”

The couple was divorced less than six years later in January 2021.
